Pasochnitsa storage box.

Pasochnitsa build is described in previous blog entries.And now it’s time to make a storage box for it.In this build I tried some techniques new for me, including making dovetails, making sliding cap, using shooting board and router plain.First of all I measured the inner size of the box

I had a pretty nice ash board awaiting its time. And I decided to use it for the build. But at first I made a simple shooting board

With its help it was very easy to make square boards

The second thing I had to make was a dovetail marking jig

It may be used in two positions for comfortable marking near edges of a board. The second position is

The marking itself and a jig for marking to hold two boards in right position

I marked and sawed dovetails in two boards at once. Next few steps were not documented. And I got the box

And after linseed oil

So the pasochnitsa found a new home and I learned how to make dovetails (wow! I became a man!)

Wonderful storage box Sergeich! Those are your first dove tails in a finished piece? or first your ever tried? I did dovetails for the very first time today. They look nothing like yours. Yours are great! Thanks for sharing.
